    I have been contemplating picking this up because i dug out my old NHL 99 for the PC and it was brillant. :D

    Just wondering if anyone has this and what is there opinion on it? I have read several reviews but i tend to prefer to hear its good from non-industry users.

    I've got it on the PS3. Definitely my favourite EA Sports game to date, it looks and plays great and there's a ton of game modes. The AI on your side is a bit sloppy, meaning you'll have to do most of the work.. and powerplay is a bit dodgy. Other than that I think it's a great hockey game.

    If you liked NHL 99 (of which I played a lot), I'd be surprised if you didn't like NHL 10.

    That's the crap one (although the best player in the world is on the front. Ovechkin!) EA make NHL 10 and it is a much better game but impossible to find anywhere for a decent price!

    Yeah i was looking at that game aswell, but it has got horrible reviews and NHL 10 is supposed to be leaps and bounds ahead of it.

    So i guess ill have to fork out 45 quid to pick this up...

    NHL2K10 is muck, every 2K NHL game has been. EA on the other hand, i would say that NHL 10 is the best sports game there is.

    I absolutely love NHL 10, its just so playable. The use of thumbsticks is innovative and works like a dream, id say if your thinking about it... DO IT.

    I'm sold i shall be ordering this tomorrow!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,320 ✭✭✭v3ttel


    I really want this aswell. I've had one of the old 2K basketball and hockey games (i tend to like the odd spin of the American spots, basketball, hockey, NFL - have Madden 10), but I don't enjoy the 2K games at all. I'd love to get NHL10 and NBA Live 10.... but they are always so expensive. I rarely see them going for less than €50!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,147 ✭✭✭mise


    Picked this up in XV for €35 a couple of weeks back, still trying to get my head round the rules, but its good fun..

    If anyone wants a game my gamertag is colmise


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,563 ✭✭✭corcaigh07


    saw it for 30 euro 2nd hand, kinda hope it will get cheaper than that somewhere.

    Damn, was looking at 2k8 NHL for cheap the other day. Think I'd like to get another NHL game. Also played older ones on PC and they were great fun (did have flaws of course but still!).

    Maybe I'll just stick to the 3on3 Arcade.....

    🤪

    Well 3on3 is a supreme laugh. Loved that title... for a while. But dont buy a 2K NHL game, download the NHL 2K10 demo (if there is one, if not get the 09 one) and play a game. THEN, go get the NHL 10 demo, im sure you will laugh when you play the two.

    Im still looking to get NHL 10 again, where did corcaigh07 see the €30 2nd hand copy?

    it was an Xtra Vision in Ballincollig, dunno if its still there. If its there the next time im in ballincollig, ill pick it up for you and even if you dont take it, im sure i could have a bash off it for a while and sell it on to someone here or on adverts easily enough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,563 ✭✭✭corcaigh07


    i fancy a bash off this, got it in xv today. delighted to find it! anyone here that can show me the ropes online because might be a while before i get up to a decent playing standard...

    ps-mikeyt086-if i decide to sell the game,(and i might well do as there are some really good games coming soon on 360) ill give you first refusal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,147 ✭✭✭mise


    It's been a while since I've played it, and I'm not that good at all, but I'd definitely be up for a few games..

    There's a demo on XBL for this if anyone wants to check it out. I played 2 games yesterday on the demo and thought it was great fun. I've no idea of the rules at all but I enjoyed it all the same. Love the fighting parts too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,490 ✭✭✭✭citytillidie


    I am still playing NHL 09 don't think i will trade it in as I would follow Montreal and 09 as a section dedicated to them.

    You can get it pretty cheap on ebay now. I paid full price a a couple of months back. Worth every cent, though. Brilliant game.

    Really?

    I have been searching ebay weekly trying to find it for less than €45 and havent seen a single copy.

    I also rang Game, Gamestop, Smyths, Xtravsion, Harvey Norman and HMV in Dublin and surrounding areas and every single one said they didnt have a copy in stock.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 211 ✭✭Dr.Slurm


    I don't know, maybe they recently reduced their prices then. I'd check ebay again, because I can see a string of NHL 10's for about £20 delivered.

    Like this one:)
